Linux Version Problems

Post by RedneckDrow »

I have a couple of problems on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat with 3.2:

1. The Database doesn't exist. Can I copy the database from the Windows version?

2. The download freezes at 85%. I have no Idea what this could be.

Hi,

The database is created when you start the program the first time. You can copy it from windows, it's the same file.

Download freeze--> Path to calibre is wrong

That would be great, if I had Calibre installed on Linux. I chose html-only. And by the way, none of my settings are being saved, either.

Try it with the new 0.4.0, it uses a new way to store the config.
The SQL file is only used for the favorite list in the future.
Platform-Specific Notes
Locations Where Application Settings Are Stored
As mentioned in the Fallback Mechanism section, QSettings stores settings for an application in up to four locations, depending on whether the settings are user-specific or system-wide and whether the settings are application-specific or organization-wide. For simplicity, we're assuming the organization is called MySoft and the application is called Star Runner.
On Unix systems, if the file format is NativeFormat, the following files are used by default:
$HOME/.config/MySoft/Star Runner.conf (Qt for Embedded Linux: $HOME/Settings/MySoft/Star Runner.conf)
$HOME/.config/MySoft.conf (Qt for Embedded Linux: $HOME/Settings/MySoft.conf)
/etc/xdg/MySoft/Star Runner.conf
/etc/xdg/MySoft.conf
On Mac OS X versions 10.2 and 10.3, these files are used by default:
$HOME/Library/Preferences/com.MySoft.Star Runner.plist
$HOME/Library/Preferences/com.MySoft.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.MySoft.Star Runner.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.MySoft.plist
On Windows, NativeFormat settings are stored in the following registry paths:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MySoft\Star Runner
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MySoft
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MySoft\Star Runner
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MySoft
